Why Bieber's "Baby" beat Gaga's "Bad Romance"

This video by Justin Bieber has 251 MILLION views and is now the most viewed Youtube video of all time.

Lady Gaga's most watched video, on the other hand, still has to break the 248 million mark, even if it was posted a full three months BEFORE Bieber's.

WHY? 

Youtube's demographics, baby, that's all there is to it, as this post on Urlesque shows. 

Simply put, Lady Gaga's appeal is to a slightly older and smaller segment of the Youtube population. Teen girls, Bieber's base, apparently make up a much much bigger segment of Youtube. 

Kirsten Dunst is turning Japanese!

There's no shortage of Western stars doing work in Japan to sell products. This one's different.

Kirsten Dunst goes animee and sings "Turning Japanese" in a short film called "Akihabara Majokko Princess". Cute and fluffy, not necessarily art.

(This is the PG version which Youtube allowed. The original, uncensored one is here.)

15 babes in bikinis + high-tech circuitry + DJ = nerdtastic

You can call this body-paint-circuitry stuff high-tech or maybe even tech-meets-art or whatever you want... I think it's really a nerd's excuse to gather a bevy of scantily-clad women and have a reason to touch them.

Brilliant.

Ludacris: Obama is here (music video)

Listen up: "the world is ready for change because Obama is here"

That's what Ludacris says.

Or shouldn't it be: "Obama is here because the world is ready for change"?

And: "The world is going to change because Obama is here!"

I agree though. And it's great that rappers like Ludacris are onto something very relevant and timely. Think Rock the Vote --- except, in this case, it's Rap the Vote.
